vendors

Here is a pic of me at work today. Everyday I talk to multiples of people (vendors) over seas in primarily China and India through e-mail. I also send pictures of swatches and projects I am working on for development purposes. I decided today I would send my vendors a picture of me! They need to know what this Marissa chick looks like that they talk to everyday....right? I already got one response back. All it said was, "funny girl."

Michelle Obama's Arms

Seriously......


Every time I see a picture of our first lady I am in awe of her toned arms! Seriously peeps, she has had two kids and she is 44 and she is ripped! I love it and I think it's beautiful!! I ran across this article on CNN about how to get Michelle Obama's toned arms!
I will probably will never be the first lady, but maybe one day I will have Mrs. Obama's arms. What can I say...I dream big :-)

"seek peace and pursue it." psalm 34

currently listening to.....

I stare at a computer all day long. It's nice to have a soundtrack in the background as I kill my brain cells with technology. One band I never get sick of is "The Most Serene Republic". Another Canadian "Art's & Crafts" indie band. Click here for their myspace! Rumor has it that you can actually download someone of their new songs on their website of their upcoming CD. I posted a few of their songs on my playlist at the bottom of this blog. Enjoy my soundtrack :-)

It's Finally Summer!!!!

Yes...it's true kids! It's finally Summer. I realized it today at lunch. I was crammed in between some of my co-workers in my friend Ashley's big jeep. We went to my favorite hamburger joint, The Counter. Even though I am a vegetarian, they still have bomb veggie burgers! It was one of those days!! Things were going good! The Counter has a special shake every month. Last January they had "Birthday Cake Shake"!!! I loved this shake and named it my favorite shake ever. I even vowed to have it at my wedding someday, far in the future. So even though I know it will not be in the restaurant until next January, I always ask in hopefulness that it will appear. It never does. By the end of my lunch today, my lovely waitress came to me with a surprise. It was my very own "Birthday Cake Shake"!!! She said they went to the store and bought me the ingredients while I was eating my meal just to make me happy!!! OMG!!! I love this place. I was glowing like a little girl riding her pony on her birthday!! AMEN!!

Just thought I would share my happiness....there are still folks in the world that will step out of the way to do something special for you, even if they don't know you. I want to be one of them :-)

So I ran across this post on on of my favorite blogs, habitually chic. I thought these pictures were classic a represent my love for summer. They made me giggle out loud.
